Default scion tc?

theres this kid at my school with a scion tc that he put and intake and an fart cannon into that just goes on and on about how fast his car is. so i convinced him to race me in the durango just to prove that his **** really isnt fast. i would get the mustang, but its still snowing every other day here so its still in storage.

i know i can take him off the line but what are the chances he could pull on me?

and should i throw money into the mix?

*puts flamesuit on*

Couple things...you're a retard for racing in the snow...I can't even believe I'm inquiring, but is your Durango v8 or v6? Stick or auto? Those two things right there can determine whether you would win if there wasn't any snow. With snow? I say you just run right into him and wreck both your cars for being dumb enough to race in it. Hope you have an expensive flamesuit!

Even the SC TC's are slow. I could see a V8 Durango beating a pretty stock one.

Test drove a auto Scion TC... it was soooooooo slow i couldn't stand it lol What's funny is the Salesman was talking **** saying a manual TC would chirp 3rd... BS the guy was full of ****. Maybe if it stalled from a stop in 3rd it might chirp lol I'm pretty sure a auto TC would run a 17 in the 1/4

Says they run around 15.7-16.1 stock. Guy claims 15.1 with exhaust, intake, headers.

It'll chirp in every gear, all you need to do is when you shift, push in the clutch any quickly pull up the emergency brake real hard then release it. See,it'll do it

I think this might be a good race
The Scion has no power, but it's light. The Durango has some power, but it's 4600 lbs.
